The Amber Sword - 1505. Chapter 1505
Marshall gazes at the forest on the hillside. The forest makes the Sapphire Mountains appear deep black in winter. A group of patrolling soldiers is slowly sliding down from the woods on the hillside. Only a few people have complete armor, but their battle robes are already broken. Hanging like a rag, some people use sharpened wooden sticks as weapons, and everyone looks hungry. He lowered his head and wiped his long sword silently. The blade was curled up. The reason it was not broken was because Tonigel’s white lion knight each had the most sophisticated equipment-only in the workshop. Large-scale production, refined armors and swords, especially weapons purchased in batches before 1976, are the highest procurement standards set by the merchant lady, and are produced by the master craftsmen of Hazel.
The tattered cotton armor of the soldiers of the noble army could not stop it at all. The armor of the lord’s knights was a matter of slashing two more swords. Sometimes even the piercing cone was not used. He still remembered the first The blonde knight looked in astonishment and horror during one battle. However, sophisticated equipment does not affect the victory of a war of great power disparity. Golan-Elson’s army formed a layered blockade on the south, with thousands of people, as well as stone statues of the Sasald. The ghosts and the iron men, the White Lion Guard and the Valkyrie are protecting the princess from being forced towards the Sapphire Mountains day after day. There is no food in the mountains to support an army, especially in winter, even if they only have a few hundred people, the rebels I want to trap them alive.
Marshall chewed on a piece of hard grass roots, which was his last food reserve. As for the specifics, I can’t remember how long I haven’t eaten, and my brain is a little numb. I shared a roasted mountain rat with my colleagues last meal, but I have forgotten when it happened. But food is getting harder and harder to find. Soldiers who go out on patrol are looking for food not so much as defense. Hundreds of people crossing the mountain forest is like a disaster. Even the frozen soil layer has to be dug up to look for hibernation underneath. Animals, unless the bark of sapphire wood is poisonous, can also be used to cook soup.
He remembered the first few bloody battles. The two sides tried their best to knock down each other, but the nobles retreated after paying a heavy price and chose the offensive of siege instead of fighting. In the first battle, he remembered killing three people with injuries all over his body. He killed more and more, but the wounds became less and less. In the end, no one killed him—the opponent stopped attacking. He sometimes wondered if he had died in those bloody battles and it would be better to avoid suffering.
He is one of the third group of white lion knights. This is also the last group of white lion knights trained by Tonigel before the war. He is an authentic Tonigel, with a civilian background, and his grades were not bad when he was selected. Everyone. However, three days ago, he replaced his captain and became a great knight. In Eruin, this step meant becoming a true nobleman, and then he was named a baron, but it didn’t make much sense, because no one I don’t know if I can survive the next battle, just like the person he replaced.
Marshall has no regrets.
He was not the eldest son. Before the second Tonigel war, his old shoemaker kicked him into the barracks, making him stand up like a real man to defend the’things that are truly worth defending’. But he did not catch up with the war, because the war was over in the first week he entered the barracks. During the Battle of Ampersel, he was selected to join the White Lion Guard, which in a sense was considered to be outstanding.
But he just regrets.
The White Lion Guard will not easily admit defeat.
It’s like a group of lions losing their lion king, if that lion king is still there, they will never fall to where they are now.
Marshall gently put down the rag, the blade of the sword gleamed in the cold of winter, and a handsome face was reflected on the blade that was as bright as a pool of gloomy light, and that face was very serious. The young knight was slightly surprised, because it was not his own face.
He raised his head in astonishment, and a tall shadow cast on him.
With a bang, his sword fell to the ground by a miss.
now–
The Lion King is back.
The eldest princess leaned against a roll of cushions with a pale face, and her silver pupils revealed a long-lasting contemplation. She was injured, and she was so weak that she was so weak that she could see her very slender hands clearly. In the shape of the joints, under the almost transparent skin, blue veins flow quietly, a bit sickly beauty.
A gap in the tent door was slanted, and bright light flowed in from the outside and fell on her. She stubbornly sat up straight, holding her sword in both hands, and staring in that direction for a long time.
Freya couldn’t help but feel heartache when she saw her like this. Last night, Brunhild told her that her Royal Highness was sore in a cold sweat in her sleep, and the sweat soaked her coat, but she woke up without saying a word. As if the wound was all healed.
“Have something to eat, Your Royal Highness.” She couldn’t help but persuade again.
“How about you?” Griffiy asked, turning around.
“I have eaten.” Freya quickly replied: “The soldiers found some tits…”
Then she couldn’t talk anymore, because the princess was looking at her with a smile, and she pointed to the contents of the plate: “The titmouse has gone to the south of Chablis in winter. This is chicken. It was just like you yesterday. It’s the same thing you eat. Yesterday you said you found a turtle dove. We ate half of it. Is this the other half that you should have eaten in your stomach?”
“Your Royal Highness, I…”
Griffiy shook his head: “Freya, I can eat Miss Roman’s loss-making business no matter how long it takes. Thanks to her being able to distribute it as military rations, the unique taste of these marinated chickens tastes like putting them on. Didn’t anyone tell you about it after a year of dry wood?” Her pale face blinked playfully: “As a princess, my tongue is very picky, even though you are Everton’s daughter, but as a commoner, you may never understand what life is like for aristocrats.”
The female knight who was exposed blushed, and she found out if her brain was really not enough, or why would she not even be able to do something as simple as telling a lie.
But Griffith’s smile on her face receded. Even in such a weak state, she showed a majestic aura, frowned and said: “Freya, are you secretly saving your ration for me? NS.”
“But I’m different from you, Your Royal Highness…” Freya quickly defended.
Griffin looked up at her: “You are my commander, silly girl.”
She stretched out her hand and stroked the sabre lightly.
“We have already figured it out. After she left Maggie Tan, Anttina went to Light Castle. We moved closer to the direction of Goran-Elson, and we must have a chance to rescue her. If my injury does not heal, you will take it. With my sword, it represents my will, and we must rescue her.”
“your Highness!”
Griffith held up her words, “This is also for Tonigel’s battle, Freya, and… I can’t sorry Mr. Brando.”
She closed her eyelids lightly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her voice lowered: “I don’t want to leave regrets, do you understand, Freya; I don’t want to be sorry for everyone, just like my father, he owes You Buchi people apologize…”
“He is him, you are you,” Freya’s chest was ups and downs: “Anyone in Buche cursed your father and said that he is a faint king, but he has a good daughter. We are even willing to forgive you for you. Father’s fault. Because we only hope that the princess can live well, one day everything in this kingdom will become better than before under her watch!”
Griffiin’s eyes were a little red, and she smiled slightly: “Don’t worry, I won’t give up so easily. Even in the darkest hour, I’ve never been knocked down. I’m the daughter of Hallefuo. With the blood of Saint White flowing, no one can defeat me, and death will not work.”
Her words stopped suddenly.
There was some solidification in the silver eyes.
Freya was just about to say something, but a slender palm was already on her shoulder.
Freya almost froze, she clearly felt someone had entered the tent, but she thought it was Brunhild, because the Valkyrie did not communicate. But as soon as she felt the familiar temperature from the hand on her shoulder, she immediately understood–
Who is back.
The strong female knight’s eyes immediately glowed with water, her eyes were red as if they were rabbits, and when she turned her head, tears burst into her eyes. She wanted to tell the person in front of her how difficult their situation was; she wanted to tell this person how worried she was about Tonigel’s war; she wanted to tell him that Antitina was taken away by those people. Life or death is uncertain.
She wanted to howl and cry like a child.
But the duty allowed her to stand in place, still with tears streaming across her face, looking at the familiar face in front of her with tears.
Brando looked at the Valkyrie who was crying into tears with a bit of heartache.
He never thought that the banner of Eruin in his memory would one day be at a loss in front of him like a footless child, strong and firm, weak and slender, two completely different moments of beauty intertwined, deeply Touched the softest place in his heart.
But the princess was still aside, Brando could only gently wipe the tears from the Valkyrie’s face.
“Sorry, ladies, I’m back late.”
“But in my opinion, it will always be just right.” Her Royal Highness replied with a calm smile.
Inside the narrow tent.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Stand alone.
Sitting on the bed alone.
Freya suddenly understood that he and His Royal Highness might have a lot to say. Before she had tears, she hugged Brando tightly and shook his hand in secret. Brando understood what she meant, and sighed at the kind girl in his heart. He smiled at her and nodded.
“I, I’m going to see Miss Brunhild, she, she may have something to ask me…” Miss Caval found a clumsy excuse, then turned and walked out.
When the two passed by, Brando pressed her ear and said: “There is food outside, I brought you supplies.”
Freya’s face flushed transparently, and she ran away without looking back.
Princess Griffin watched the interaction between the two with a sharp attitude, her eyes were bright, and she smiled slightly, but she actually had some care in her heart.
“No one can defeat you, and death is not alright, Your Royal Highness,” Brando looked at his princess: “Because they can’t reach you at all. Your knight is standing in front of you, without my permission. Before, no one would do it.”
“It’s not possible to get your permission,” Princess Griffin added. “Mr. Cavalier, you seem to have experienced a lot.”
“Yes, does it smell of vicissitudes?”
“No.”
After saying this, even though she was very weak, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Brando also felt the change of the princess, she became more mature, maybe this was the real her, and gradually overlapped with the shadow in his memory. He took out the angel heart bottle and motioned her to drink it, but the elf girl remained unmoved and only looked at him with expectations.
Brando was stunned, then his heart jumped slightly.
He helped the weak girl up, and the two cuddled up so ambiguously. The elf princess looked at him trustingly, Brando’s heartbeat speeded up and lowered the angel heart bottle, dropping a drop of luminous light on her. On the slender tip of the tongue.
The princess swallowed it, and the majestic vitality contained in the light fluid immediately began to take effect. Her withered limbs became plump again, her skin became white and breakable by blows, her silver eyes brightened little by little, and her cheeks became healthy. And the ruddy, scattered silver hair glowed with a scorching brilliance, it was like a withered flower that once again began the blooming process in life.
Griffith looked at all this incredible in shock, and didn’t even care when the serious injury on his body was completely healed.
“This is……”
“This is an angel heart bottle.”
“That is the holy thing formed by the angel’s blood?”
Brando nodded.
The princess seemed to be lost in thought: “I owe you more, my Mr. Cavalier.”
“I’m only worried that the princess still hates me,” Brando replied helplessly, “just treat it as a tie.”
Griffith raised her head in embarrassment because of the princess: “Don’t mention that!” But among the memories that made her ashamed and angry, the memories are slightly sweet now.
This topic made the half-elf girl feel a little embarrassed, and Wei Wei got out of his arms.
Although Brando was a little disappointed, he also understood that the actions of the princess today have proved his trust in him.
Princess Griffin calmed down first, and began to recount what happened after he left. Some of these things have been heard by Brando themselves, but they are in another state of mind when they are spoken from the mouth of the princess.
When Brando heard about the domestic part of Eruin, the originally ambiguous aura in the tent had already faded to nothing.
After a long talk, Princess Griffiy stopped suddenly, and then turned to ask: “Can you tell me about the Sassard.”
This topic seemed to have opened a Pandora’s box, and the tent suddenly fell silent.
Brando gave her a surprised look. He originally thought that the princess would not take the initiative to mention it. After thinking for a while, I didn’t have much preparation in my heart, so I simply explained all the things that happened after I left Eruin, and finally mentioned the Sassards incidentally.
He did this to avoid the embarrassment of the princess. The elf girl obviously understood this, and she felt a little warm in her heart.
About Brando’s trip, she actually learned something from other sources, but after all, it was not so detailed, and she could hear God several times. She is a good listener, and her good education prevents her from showing subconscious fatigue at any time. Moreover, Brando’s narration is fascinating, and her Royal Highness whispered a few times.
But when it came to the last paragraph, Princess Griffin’s expression went cold.
She didn’t expect that so many major events had happened in this world, but Eluin’s nobles were still arguing over trivial matters, even not hesitating to disrupt the kingdom, colluding with outsiders and cultists. What a ridiculous joke, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this ancient kingdom is simply an incurable abandoned son.
When Brando finished the last sentence, the tent fell silent again.
Both of them lowered their heads to each other, as if thinking about something, and there was a breath of speechless silence in the air.
For a long time, Princess Griffith spoke indifferently: “So at least many people in the royal party understood from the beginning that the Twilight Dragon stands behind the Sazard?”
Brando nodded silently.
Princess Griffin was expressionless, she seemed to be measuring something in her heart, but when she finally spoke, she almost expended a lot of effort to say: “The ancient nobles and their noble beliefs created this kingdom, and Eluin has never I have forgotten those who fought to change its destiny, but history is always changing, and some people are indeed not so timely…”
Brando looked at her fisted hands, the knuckles were obviously white, and even trembling slightly.
She was born in the era of blooming Zhongxing, and she has witnessed the best spirit of the kingdom.
But she also witnessed her father’s death under cold-blooded politics. She hated this outdated system more than anyone, but she also harbored the rare warmth of a politician in her heart.
However, at this moment, she killed countless lives with just one sentence, including those who used to work with her, those who supported her, her friends, and even her grandfather, who was in her desperate situation. Among the relatives who reached out to her.
But if the history of a kingdom cannot advance in a pool of blood, it can only turn into dust in the flames.
Brando wanted to comfort the weak girl, but he said in his mouth:
“not enough.”
Princess Griffin raised her head, her silver eyes staring at him coldly.
“This time, your Royal Highness, don’t forget that I am also the opposite of you.”
Her Royal Highness took a deep breath, as if she had already made a great determination: “I will marry you, we also have a marriage contract, in the future you can…”
Brando smiled bitterly. Although it was also a political marriage, there was a slight warmth in his heart. At least he understood that in her mind, his status could even be equal to her ideals and beliefs-he looked at the princess, but he didn’t want to see her soft-hearted at this time.
He didn’t know whether he should be happy or angry, but he shook his head because that was not what he wanted: “Haruze is the king of this kingdom, and the princess, we want to give Eruin the brightest future. It must be given the most orthodox name.”
There was a deathly silence in the tent.
After a long time, Princess Griffith raised her head and looked at him with a bit of resentment: “Very well, as you wish, I will take you, the earl of Denner and Tonigel, led by Fir. The lord, the hero of Eruin was executed in public for desecration of members of the royal family, with no focus.”
Brando scratched his head embarrassedly: “Stop, stop, I’m not that great yet, your Royal Highness, there is actually a relatively gentle way, maybe I will leave Eruin. Next, Eruin will also participate. In the war with the Twilight Dragon, I believe that the power of Tonigel and Valhalla will become the backbone of this war. I entrust it to you and hope you can use them well.”
“Why does Elu obey your command? Do you mean that Haruze and I are just puppets manipulated by you?” Princess Griffin had no expression on her face and changed into a cold tone: “Unfortunately , Lord Earl, Eruin turned into the arms of the Twilight Dragon after you left. Anyway, its selfish prince and the king only care about their own people. As for the great responsibility of saving the world, the Eruin may shoulder the burden. I’m sorry.”
Brando knew that he had offended the princess so badly that he couldn’t laugh or cry for a while.
But after a while, he heard Princess Griffin ask quietly.
“…Where are you going?”
“Perhaps we have to find a Buga to settle an account first, and then St. Osor…”
He wanted to continue, but Princess Griffin interrupted him:
“At least before you leave, Mr. Cavalier, can you give me another hug?”
Brando was stunned.
He raised his head, Princess Griffith’s slender neck was slowly reddening, and her blush was so cute, she tilted her head slightly, not looking at him.
Brando opened his mouth, he wanted to say no-but found that his body was not under control at all.
He felt his heart beating very fast, and slowly and softly knelt down in front of the princess’s palace. He didn’t even dare to look into the eyes of the other person. He only gently hugged Griffin into his arms, only feeling The half-elf girl was as light as a feather.
Princess Griffith curled up in his arms motionless, listening gently to the strong and powerful heartbeat of her knight.
She whispered: “I’m sorry, if you accidentally diminished Miss Roman’s position in your heart, I was also your fiancee, didn’t I…”
What can be more heartwarming than a strong, proud princess who lowers her body and utters love words in your ear, but as she said, what else can he say besides being able to blame himself? Woolen cloth?
Sorry, I can’t say those three words easily, because I am responsible for this kingdom…
Because the country has already been promised, it is difficult to Xu Jun.
Brando listened silently to the princess’s narration–
“I have one last request,” Princess Griffin said in a soft voice, “Mr. Knight.”
She raised her head to look at him.
“Please be sure to bring back Miss Antitina.”
Brando nodded seriously.
Because this is not a promise, but an agreement between the two ladies.
